We hit 600 miles for the year this last week, despite the cold weather. We did have a beautiful weekend for some walks, though – and because it was the weekend, we weren’t having to walk in the dark.

The very, very small amount of snow we had – all of which is now melted.

Well over a year – we will hit two years in May (assuming we keep it up through then, and we have no plans to stop).

How many pairs of trainers/shoes have you got through Sarah since you started this a couple of years ago?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I wear three different pairs of shoes depending on the weather (sandals, tennis shoes, and winter boots). So far, the only pair I’ve worn out were a pair of sandals, and those were already four or five years old. I’m surprised everything has lasted as long as it has!

I live in my trainers, so they last about eight months.

Unless I’m walking Choppy, my various pairs of shoes I walk her in get very little use – it’s heels most of the time otherwise. I do have to get the tips on those re-done regularly, though, as I wear them out with all my non-dog-walking!

600 miles…… well done! Amazing how they mount up. 700 by year end perhaps? 🙂

Not by the end of 2017 – I think I’d be walking every moment until the year turns! By the end of this year of the Dog Walk Challenge in May? I sure hope we’ll be at 700!

Thanks! The days and mileage all seem rather impressive these days. Much different than when I struggled just to get through the first month when I was only trying to walk a mile a day!

Thank you! I just wish the weather this time of year would always be cooperative. It’s been nice the last few days, but we’re about to get winter with a vengeance.

600! That is terrific! Congrats.
I’m amazed you still have no snow. We broke freezing today for the first time in about 10 days at a high of 42. Felt downright balmy, and melted about half the snow. Still a lot left out there though.

I think we’re an outlier so far this year – my sister has lots of snow in Minneapolis. We have couple forecasts for dustings in the next week or two, but nothing significant. It appears we’ll have a rare, non-white Christmas!

Wow! 700 per year? Where is Schooner??? 😉

Yup – though our year ends in May, so it is far more do-able than if we were trying to get there by the end of December! As for Schooner , he stays home during our walks.

You’re doing great. We had just a little bit of snow one day last week, I think. The days are starting to run together. LOL We have none left. The temperature was almost 60 today!

Our weekend was downright balmy – not quite 60, but almost 50. This time of year, that’s amazing!

Thanks! It’s become such a habit now, if I don’t get the walk done in the morning, I’m like a crazy person until I get it in!
